Let’s Find the Perfect Gift for Your Sister in Law
Gift shopping can be stressful, especially if it’s for a special occasion like a birthday or holiday. The pressure you put on yourself to find the “perfect gift” is real. Looking for a gift for someone you know well can already be a bit overwhelming since there are endless options out there; so it’s only safe to assume that buying for your sister-in-law is just as hard. People everywhere have different relationships with their in-laws, it’s cliche to assume that you are always butting heads with them, and well that may be true for some, it’s not the case for you!
You’re here to find the perfect gifts for your sister-in-law, and what’s great about what we’ve found today is that they can work for any event or celebration. So whether it’s for her birthday or “just because” we have taken a look at what’s trending to find your new family a gift that she will adore.
✍️ First Up: Write What You Know ✍️
Before we get in too deep with our picks we first wanted to give you our very best advice for finding the perfect gift: write what you know. You may have known your sister-in-law for years and they have been like family to you so you know them very well. Or they are a recent addition to your family through your partner so you know them a little, but not enough to really get into their niche interests. Either way we suggest grabbing a pen and paper, (or more accurately, whipping out your phone’s notes app), and writing down what you know about them.
Write what they like, what they talk about, what they do for a living- anything you can think of, write it down. You’re almost creating a “Get To Know Me” bio but instead of it being about yourself, it’s about her. With this you’ll be able to take note of what makes her, her, and that’s a great start to searching for the perfect gift for her. When you’re writing, inspiration can strike and you’ll be able to recall something she said in passing that she wanted or thought was cool. This way you can get it for her and she will be amazed about how you remembered something she mentioned off-handley to you. It’s what elevated a good gift giver to a great one.
But if you’re drawing a blank and need some help from us, don’t you worry because we have a list of gifts that we love coming your way…
Bottoms Up!
With even warmer weather on the horizon, the time to bust out the drinks is now. We have some gifts that are all about our favorite drinks, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic.
Summer is coming and that means it’s time for cocktails! Image courtesy of: Flask & Field.
🎵 “If you like piña coladas, and gettin' caught in the rain” 🎵
You just sang that in your head didn’t you? We couldn’t not reference Rupert Holmes’ Escape (The Piña Colada Song) while we bring this gift to your attention because it is the "Tropic Like it's Hot" Piña Colada Cocktail Gift Set for $165 from Flask & Field, the business for all things natural wine, craft spirits, and goods. They have many different drink sets but we liked their Piña Colada one the best since summer is right around the corner. It contains:
Two bottles of Granalta’s small-batch Piloncillo Rums
Coco Lopez Real Cream of Coconut
(described as: “lush, creamy, and iconic”)
Emile Vergeois Pineapple Juice
(described as: “refined, juicy, never too sweet”)
Cheeky Lime Juice Syrup

Flask & Field Recipe Card
(which is their “go-to Colada ratio”)
We gotta add a Williams Sonoma gift in the drinks section! Image courtesy of: Williams Sonoma.
And since we referenced The Piña Colada Song, it’s now only fair we go:
🎵 “Wastin' away again in Margaritaville” 🎵
We’re taking a look at the Casamigos x Williams Sonoma Cocktail Gift Set for $59.95 which is only available at the famed Williams Sonoma and it is for the lovers of tequila and margaritas. Casamigos is the award-winning tequila and mezcal label- (which you might have heard that George Clooney is a part of) and they have come to make this cocktail kit which will be the ultimate good-weather refresher. It contains:
Blackberry Basil Smash Cocktail Mix
(which has, as described: “blackberry juice, lemon juice and orange juice with basil”)

Now we’re slowly transitioning to our friends who don’t partake in alcohol by introducing mixers you can still add to your alcoholic drinks but also what you can use to make mocktails. From The Dry Goods Beverage Company they have their very own Craft Cocktails Gift Box for $24.99 which includes five 2oz bottles of their:
Mojito Mixer

Who needs to fly to Italy when you can have a taste of it right here? Image courtesy of: The Zero Proof.
The Zero Proof is a popular non-alcoholic beverage shop that has just about everything you could need in a non-alcoholic beverage shop. They have meticulously crafted kits and drinks that are perfect for your own at home creations and sips straight out of the bottle. Their stuff tends to sell out regularly so be on the lookout for best sellers when they are in stock. Here we are taking a look at their Italian Vacation Non-Alcoholic Cocktail Bundle for $71.50. These canned cocktails can be cracked up and enjoyed on a hot summer’s day when you’re hanging out with friends. In this bundle you can expect:
A one 4-pack of their Lapo's Non-Alcoholic Negroni Canned Cocktail

Self Care All Day
Who doesn’t love a little “me-time”? Everyone deserves to feel like their best all the time and sometimes we need products that will help us get there. Here are a few of our favorite beauty and self care essentials out right now:
Dry skin be gone! Image courtesy of: Kopari.
Nobody likes the feeling of dry skin, especially when the weather warms up and that frees you up to wear lighter clothes. It’s important to moisturize in order to keep your skin happy and healthy. There are of course many hydration creams out there but none like the Hyaluronic Hydration Body Set from Kopari Beauty on sale for $69 (normally priced at $99). This kit comes with the Golden Aura Body Oil, Ultra Restore Body Butter in OG Coconut, and a Checkered Knit Tote to add to your closet. This oil and cream will instantly moisturize the skin and build up your skin's health over time so it’s a two in one skin care system.
Face masks are always a yes please. Image courtesy of: Sephora.
We can really put our skin through the ringer, especially if you are constantly putting makeup on all day every day. Of course nowadays makeup has been built to help skin more rather than hurt it but there are benefits to doing a deep cleanse of your skin, or more specifically your pores. That’s why we love the innisfree Super Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask for $18.00 at Sephora. This product is great for all skin types: oily, dry, and combo, and is great for minimizing pores and uneven texture on the skin. All it takes is 10 minutes and it’s said that if you use this one to two times a week, you’ll start feeling your skin look and feel better.
Light, breezy, and good for the skin! Image courtesy of: SilkSilky.
SilkSilky is a company that specifically specializes in silk-based clothing and bedding products. They’ve got a wide selection of products for everyone to enjoy, including your sister-in-law. We know how good silk is for the skin and hair, and their 19Momme Pure Silk Casual Belted Womens Robe on sale for $145.00 (normally priced at $245.00) is made of 100% Mulberry Silk and comes in five different colors and three sizes: S(6), M(8/10), and L(12).
Rest your head and know that you aren’t harming your skin. Image courtesy of: kit●sch.
And if the robe is too much but you like the idea of giving something silk, then you should definitely take a look at the Satin Pillowcase by kit●sch on sale for $13.87 (normally priced at $19.00). It is 600 Thread-Count and OEKO-TEX® Certified which is great to know if you’re looking for a quality product. This can reduce breakouts and prevents hair from frizzing up in the night. The pillowcase comes in a Standard/Queen and a King size as well as ten styles and twenty-one limited edition styles.
Something Unique For Her
As much as we love these gifts, we do have to add a couple that feel a bit more personal to her, because she’s family.
Combining the love of astrology and candles! Image courtesy of: Birthdate co.
If you’re not really certain what to get your sister-in-law, but know she gets a kick out of astrology or candles, then you might be interested in the Astrology Inspired Birthdate Candles on sale for $44.99 (normally priced at $54.99). Here you can select her birthdate and get a personalized candle with a personalized scent that’s tailored to her own unique style. Each candle has a few fun facts like displaying the Decan, Number, Planet, and Qualities. Add your sister-in-law’s birthdate and see what scents she will get when you order one.
A perfect gift for your sister in law is right around the corner. Image courtesy of: Caitlyn Minimalist.
Minimalist jewelry is super in-style at the minute and there are lot of cute options out there to pick from, but one that you can gift, that’s also personal to her is her very own Custom Alice Dainty Initial Necklace on sale for $25.90 (normally priced at $37.00) from Caitlyn Minimalist. Choose her initial, then pick the finish from three options, Rose Gold, 18k Gold, or Sterling Silver, and finally pick the length of the chain (with sizes from 14 inches to 22 inches available). It’s a great little gift to get anyone, but an even better one to give family.
Become a part of the coolest club in all of the town. Image courtesy of: Etsy.
When you get married, you have now added a few new additions to the family, and that means celebrating in ways that make everyone feel welcomed. This is the Cool Sisters Club Sweatshirt from LakeHouseDesignArt on Etsy on sale for $17.85+ (normally priced at $35.70+). This vintage design is great for you both to wear out on the town together. This comes in a variety of colors and sizes so you can pick one out that fits both you and her well.
Finding the perfect gift for your sister-in-law doesn’t have to be complicated, whether you know her well or not well enough yet, these gifts will make for great surprises which will form even closer bonds.
